Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 Read me! so i just got limewire and i was wondering. are mp3 type songs the same as wma(i think thats what its called.. might be mwa) type songs? does it matter which ones i download? because i don't have an mp3 player, i just have a regular cd player. thanks  |

 I'd be happy for somebody to correct me, but I'd say no. They are different. mwa files are intended for Windows Media Player to play. Sure, some other mp3/media players 'might' be able to play them but will most likely require special codecs to enable this. Sorry I'm not a pc person (I'm a mac user), but it's my understanding wmp does have the ability to burn cd's. If yours has this ability, then it should be safe to dwnld wma files to burn to a cd. Your burner software might/might not have the ability to convert wma files so they can be burnt to cd. For mp3's, there's various softwares incl. burner apps that can burn them as a cd. You could potentially mix them both onto one cd. But 1st you need to find out if your wmp can burn them 1st! Also keep in mind there's different types of mp3's & wmp may potentially require xtra codecs to play all types. |

| mp3 has similar compression rates to wma but lacks any sort of annoying security. WMP is big on needing xtra codecs to play AV. See the following links for comparisons (too big to include here): http://www.insearchoftruth.org/audio...ke/encode.html http://www.updated.com/browse/index....en+MP3+And+Wma No, mp3's can be burnt as either an mp3 disk (basically a data disk) or burnt as a full audio cd. Generally the burner software will convert the mp3 to the full size of audio tunes (wav & aiff are direct formats that save in full audio quality.) Just choose audio cd in the burner app & drop your mp3's in there. mp3's & wma are generally compressed in size using 'lossy' techniques (throws away info thru a no. of methods; eg: combining the 2 L&R channels at times when the difference is minimal.) Hope this answers your queries. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; May 28th, 2006 at 05:12 PM. |

| ?? The difference is better seen in wmv (short for Windows Media Video): one can find he same clip on .avi format for 25000KB while in .wmv it takes around 7500KB. How is that? A lot (and I mean a lot) of quality is sacrificed for the sake of a smaller file. And that's probably Microsoft's motto on everything: Quantity over Quality. It's better to produce 100 programs with a million free incorporated bugs (no need to dld them but you can do so to keep software bugs up-to-date) than 10 programs that will work coherently. Bugs are goood for them. They love them. I wonder if B. Gates' fancy house has any bugs. I have a question though: wma=Windows Media Audio mwa=Mindows Wedia Audio? Who's Mindows? And what's a Wedia?

| Maybe they're not everybody's cup of tea, but that's a tough description, very generalised & a personal view. Perhaps some people can't distinguish quality b/w tunes, but everybody has their own taste. I'm glad we're not all sheep following what the music industry says we should. And besides, such types of bands have been just as popular/successful as those that get sponsored by the music industry. They sometimes have cult status. Curious to hear murasame's opinion! lol |
